Just a tad too bright but still gets the emotion right.

This is a nice picture but seems a little noisy....high ISO? The exposure seems a bit hot outside. I like the falloff towards the back of the head. Very nice.

Nice portrait, but a little overexposed on the left part.

I like the simplicity of this image. I wish you could have found a way to make a whiter background work though. I think it would go nicely with the clear tack. A whiter background would make the tip stand out a bit more I think, and that would be a good thing.
I like the focus and clarity here. I think that the detail in the tack is fine in my opinion.
The shadow is a slight bit distracting, I can really picture this as a high key kind of thing with no shadows and white background. I think it is the area along the bottom of the tack that makes me want to see it all this way. See how it is a little 'too bright' compared to the rest of the shot? I think instead of wishing that were darker, I wish the rest of the photo were lighter. Doesn't usually happen that way for me, but I think this could be good like that.
I like the angle and framing/cropping you chose. having the pin at a diagonal creates visual appeal and with the large part of the pin toward the upper left, it also offsets it enough to not appear 'dead center'.
Overall I think this is a really good shot, nice to look at and well done. ~Heather~

I really like the angle you have here. If the photo was in focus, and centered a bit better to get even amounts of the flowers, etc, it would be a very nice shot. Those are awesome looking organ pipes.

Nice crisp image, wonderfull tonal range, lighting and fits the challenge perfectly. I just don't feel this shot is interesting enough to separate it from the rest of the pack. It looks to be your average shot here on DPC. Not that average here is a bd place to be at all. Technicaly perfect just laks apeal.
